Egypt approves new Constitution

 

Egypt’s Constituent Assembly on Friday approved a final draft of the country’s first Constitution since the fall of former President Hosni Mubarak.

The Assembly sent the draft to President Mohamed Morsy, who is expected to submit it for public approval in a referendum.

Tempers frayed in the early hours of Friday as the body, after voting through most of the 234 articles with few or no objections, returned to consider the few contentious issues.



The marathon session, which started before 3 p.m. (6.30 p.m. IST) on Thursday, comes ahead of a hearing scheduled on Sunday before the Supreme Constitutional Court to hear a case calling for its dissolution.

Liberal and leftist members and church representatives withdrew from the Assembly in protest at what they saw as attempts by the body’s Islamist majority to force its views through.

In an interview broadcast late Thursday on state television, the Mr. Morsy said that enacting the new Constitution was the way out of Egypt’s current political crisis.

Rival demonstrations and violent clashes have been taking place since Mr. Morsy issued a Constitutional declaration on November 22, 2012 barring the courts from reviewing his decisions — or from dissolving the Constituent Assembly.

Opposition groups and Coptic organisations were planning to rally in Cairo’s Tahrir Square on Friday in opposition to the Assembly as well as to Mr. Morsy’s decrees.
